“Buying a home can be stressful and frustrating. Anjali has a good idea of home values, based on her analysis of surrounding properties and market trends. Her numbers were just what I needed to win the bid to put my family into a beautiful home in a wonderful neighborhood. She favorably negotiated terms and was amazingly helpful explaining the purchasing process. When the day comes for us to move (likely in this economy and job market), Anjali will represent us for sure!”

Craig - San Carlos

“Anjali is perfect!! This is the only word I can come up with at this point. We are young first-home buyer, met Anjali when exploring an open house. We decided to have her as our agent immediately after our first time talking. Since we firmly trust her abundant experience.
Anjali is so warm and thoughtful. She really cares about her client, moreover, she treats her clients as friends. During our home searching process, she was always reachable, ready to gave many helpful suggestions.
She's patient, efficient, and very well-organized when working with us. We found our right property in one month! Everything goes smoothly well. Once all things done, Anjali didn't stop her relationship with us. She will always be there in case you need further help.
I would definitely recommend you, if you want to buy a dream house, go to Anjali. Because she is the one you need. Thank you Anjali!!!!”

As a first time home buyer, you're taking a leap of faith with the realtor you select and you'll be in more than capable hands with Anjali. She's such a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to family or to friends in a heartbeat.

Nicholas A. - San Mateo

“Anjali was the ideal realtor for me - she helped me find my dream home. Anjali worked so amazingly hard to constantly identify what most closely met my needs. And she was always adapting to my changing expectations, always with patience and a smile. Anyone that has been struggling to find that perfect home on the Peninsula, and one that they can afford, should work with Anjali as their realtor. She will make your dream come true.”

Shubra S. - San Mateo

“Anjali was our perfect realtor. Among all of the stress of moving from Connecticut to California, she was terrific! I spoke with her over the phone for 10 minutes, and the listings she sent me to review were right on target. During our first meeting, she was prepared to show us 4 different styles of rentals, and all were spot on! Within those 4 was an incredible place that had just become available that morning, and we got it! We've been living here for 5 weeks now, and couldn't ask for better. I can't say enough good things about Anjali's attentiveness and understanding of what we were looking for. She listened, asked the right questions during that short phone call, and "got it" right away. As long as we're in the bay area, Anjali will be our realtor!”

Erica S. - San Mateo

“We were first time homeowners and could not have asked for a better agent and experience with Anjali. Anjali took the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for, which made it easy to find the perfect home and for her to be an excellent advocate when we made an offer. She made everything painless from the initial search to the offer and closing process. I have referred friends looking to buy a home to her and will not hesitate to contact her should we need an agent again.
”

Whitney S. - Half Moon Bay

“Anjali knows the area and the industry very well indeed. She is patient and forthcoming with ideas and understands the clients (more like friends!) needs instantly. She has a knack for identifying potential pitfalls and prepared us well in advance drawing from her many years of experience. She is extremely affable and we love working with her!
”

Devika A. - Redwood City

“We are first time home buyers in the Bay Area which by itself could be super stressful. But no, not with Anjali! The most important aspect for a first time buyer is education and a strong support system - from the moment we were introduced to Anjali, our entire home buying process was incredible. She connected us to the right lender who understands the worries/questions of a first time buyer, home warranty company, home insurance company and even recommended a handy man. She met us in person multiple times to really understand our needs and to build that connection. Without a doubt we knew she was on our team and always doing the best for us.
She was literally available 24/7 and answered every single question we had. She is very engaged and prioritizes the client's experience and is always looking at the detail to create an edge. She was the only realtor who presented the offer in person, which gave us an advantage (personal connection with sellers agent) in the middle of a 10-offer situation. She continuously stayed in touch with the sellers agent and obtained valuable information which helped us get into our dream home.
We are so thankful and lucky to get into our first home within 2 months of beginning the process and this is 100% because of the education, engagement and commitment from Anjali. You are so lucky if you have the privilege of having her in your team!”

Sapna E. - S. San Francisco

“We recommend having Anjali as your realtor. This was our first home and we were very lucky that we had her to guide us at every step of the way. She is very friendly and approachable and her work is very methodical and organized.
Since we were new to the area we were planning to buy a house in, Anjali started off with showing us different neighborhoods and making us acquainted to the local areas. As soon as we started seeing different homes and providing feedback, she was sharp enough to get a sense of exactly what we were looking for in a house and surely found us our dream home. We were patiently explained everything that we needed to know as first time buyers and she was always available by phone, text or email whenever we had a question.
Anjali is very detail-oriented and knows how to make a buyers offer attractive and we are pretty sure the same goes when she is selling. She made sure we were on top of our stuff so when we finally wanted to make an offer for a house that we really liked, it was easy enough. She was our go-to person for every thing we needed: home inspections, handyman, movers, etc. Even after we moved into our new home, she has been helpful with everything we needed.
Anjali has become more of a friend than just our realtor. She made this whole process of buying a house a memorable journey rather than a terrifying ordeal. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family.”

Ashki - Half Moon Bay

“Anjali is the most professional agent we worked with to buy our first home. The way she works is quite different form other agents we have worked with in the past. It is very important to build a relationship with your agent. She spent good amount of time in building that relationship and to know us better. She was well organized which made the whole transaction very smooth. Anjali kept giving us advise throughout the process, which helped us take few important decisions. She always had answers for all our questions and was literally available 24 X 7. She helped us not just during the transaction but also after we closed the escrow. When you work with her its like working with a friend not an agent. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

Vishakha - San Mateo

“My husband and I met Anjali at an open house, years before we were ready to buy. We kept in loose contact via email - she was never pushy or rushed us to start the home-buying process. When we were finally ready we reached out to her along with some other realtors, so that we could do our due diligence and compare our options. As first time homebuyers we were looking for someone who would guide us every step of the way, make us feel comfortable, and understand our unique needs. Anjali met all of our requirements and then some, as she is very knowledgeable about San Mateo County and was able to provide a lot of information on the different areas of San Mateo where we were looking. And although she was also working with other clients, she always made us feel like we were her first priority. She was very responsive and proactive, taking the time to meet with us many times throughout the process, calling and emailing to check-in and provide updates. Home-buying is not an easy process, and having a good realtor makes a huge difference. We will definitely work with her again!

Dorothy - San Mateo

“For the majority of us, the purchase or sale of a home is one of life's most major transitions. It brings on many emotions: Excitement, fear, anticipation, disappointment, joy. Choosing a realtor to guide us into this transition becomes a decision of extreme importance. I consider myself most fortunate to have found a realtor that represented perfection in accomplishing this process for me: Anjali Jain Ellis of Alain Pinel Realtors in Burlingame. Before I became acquainted with this gracious lady, I had been attempting to find a home on the Peninsula while living in Southern California. This was not an easy task and in months of looking, I was getting nowhere. I met Anjali and immediately connected with her warm, engaging manner. She had the ability to ask the pertinent questions to be able to zero in on likely properties that could be of interest. She was so generous with her time and our initial property tour was well planned and well thought out. We accomplished a lot in a single day. Ultimately, Anjali showed me a property that was perfect for me and despite the fact that there was already a contract on the property, we were ultimately able to secure it primarily due to Anjali's diligent follow up with the listing agent. At every step of the purchase process, she was right there, guiding me and looking out for my interest. There are so many details that go into a home purchase: financing, inspections, escrow, etc. etc. etc. I was continually impressed with the fact that she went over and above what would be required in order to make sure I had the smoothest process possible and that my interest was well protected. Not only is she personable but extremely knowledgeable and experienced in her field. It is apparent that she takes great pleasure in her work and in finding the right match for the right client. My recommendation of Anjali is on the highest level.

Mary C. - Redwood Shores

“I met Anjali at an open house (one that was way out of my price range!). Most agents can be pushy and aggressive at the prospect of a potential buyer in the market, but Anjali was different. She was genuine and kind, and took the time to get to know me and understand my unique needs as a single mom. It was a huge challenge to find something in this market in my price range. Anjali was incredibly patient and worked with me for more than five months. Just when I was about to consider leaving the bay area, she spotted the ideal property for me. And then came the paper work and all that was required to make an offer! It was my first time, and Anjali guided me through the whole overwhelming, emotional process with such patience. I felt confident putting my faith and trust in her advice. I am now a homeowner and so thankful to Anjali for her kindness, support, professionalism and expertise throughout the process. She genuinely cares about the families she works with and understands the emotion that goes in to this massive decision and investment. I highly recommend Anjali, you will be in good hands!

Lori - San Mateo

“Very professional and courteous. As a first time home buyer, she addressed all of our questions and queries very patiently and promptly. She worked with us at every step of the process from getting to know our house requirements (location, area, layout, schools, commute distance etc.) to making an offer. Very pleased to work with Anjali through this process, definitely recommend her!”

Ameet - San Mateo

“Real estate agent Anjali Jain, assisted me when I purchased my home in August of this year at Woodlake Condominiums in San Mateo. She was my agent and has won my trust and gratitude through her complete, and absolutely superlative services. She was at all times responsive, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, cooperative, punctual, in other words, she was the complete package. For my next real estate purchase, I will, without any hesitation turn to her again, as well as recommend her to all my friends and relatives. I have a simple and effective personal policy, which is, when I find people that I can trust, I stick with them, and Anjali is one such trusted person and professional.
